I am under the impression based on a TON of reviews that Irish No. 22 should be a toast similar to HDT. Except the small tin I just got from Mr. Snuff is not that. It has, I want to say, mint and maybe camphor in it (not a menthol expert here). If there is a toast element to it I couldn’t tell you as the medicated elements are overwhelming anything else. Does this sound right to anyone?
Any chance it smells like Anise & eucalyptus? That’s what my first “Irish No22” was. There was a mislabeled batch going around, but my last couple No22s were correct. Was it a 5g by chance?

Heck, could be. I’m not overly familiar with anise but I am familiar with eucalyptus. While I don’t really smell eucalyptus, mixed with something else could change it to a degree I don’t recognize.
Yes, it was a 5g tin.
Same thing happened to me.

It should taste like every other Toast on the market only better.

this seems to happen occasionally with Wilson’s.

@Cappadoc What about Irish No. 22 makes it the best toast in your opinion? As of right now I’ve only tried 2 toasts, HDT and Lime Toast, but I am not as excited about them as I hoped I’d be. I hoped for a more buttery, lightly toasted flavor but instead just get wood fire and scorched toast from the HDT. The Lime Toast is like a magic act, now you smell it, now you don’t. Poof. Gone. Without a time machine to slow things down, I can’t really judge it.
I dropped a note to MrSnuff letting them know of the issue. In the meantime, everyone avoid the 5g tins.
Try SG Irish D, sold as GH Irish on MrSnuff!

@Notalynn I like most toasts, but 22 is my favorite unflavored Toast. Can

@Notalynn if a buttery finish is what you’re after, then definitely try a 10g of Toque Natural Toast. I can’t say how long the scent lasts compared to other plain toasts, but I find that in general, their scents don’t last quite as long as flavored snuffs. If taken correctly, they can be snuffed more frequently, though.

Notalynn for buttery toasty flavor try the Dholakia Madras Toast.

@Cappadoc Your post got cut off. 
@SammyD13 and @tobaccobob Yay, I happen to have ordered both of those snuffs 2 days ago! Now I’m twice as excited to try them. Come on postal lady, bring me my toasts!
Dang glitch. I was adding that I really like the Toast and Marmalade and Lime Toast from Toque. I like the 22 better than HDT, cannot pin down the why. Toque Natural is also quite good. Whisky & Honey from Toque is my favorite Toast of all. The UK, not the US,

You’ll have a mislabelled tin. I did too.

seems more likely with the 5 gram tins.

@Notalynn don’t forget to try Toque USA Whiskey and Honey. It’s a must-have for toast lovers- or at least a must-try.

@SammyD13 I’m not a big whiskey fan, but you’re right, I should give it a go. It’s popular enough that I would feel remiss if I did not try it.
I prefer the UK Whisky & Honey. The US is good, but very dry, fine and difficult for me to control depth of inhale. Both are worth trying,

@Cappadoc I’ve had USA W&H 3 (well 4 as @SammyD13 knows, but let’s keep it simple) 3 ways: from a local tobacco shop where it spent a year on the shelf, from the bad old MrSnuff days where stock was stale (no longer the case), and bulk shipped direct from Toque. In case #3, distinctly unique from #s 1 & 2, - which I would call the only representative sample - USA W&H is not dry. Not bone dry at least. Also not particularly hard to take. And nice and strong. My personal and I believe in the minority taste though is that it’s too toasted or too fired and it burns my smell receptors. Most smokey snuffs do. Samuel Gawith Irish D and the Sir Walter Scott’s are my exception. Like USA W&H I do enjoy and appreciate the aroma & satisfaction of Iriah No22, but the way it affects my sense of smell I’m not willing to tolerate. I may as well smoke cigarettes. Also with smokey or overly toasted snuffs (incl’ Toque) my wife says I smell like a campfire when I’ve had a bit. Not OK in contemporary business where, unless you’re in ops, smoking and by extension smelling smokey is perceived as a weakness.
